Kevin Love (illness) missed Tuesday's shootaround, but is probable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.

While the Cavs told Love to stay home for Tuesday morning's shootaround, the good news for his fantasy owners is that he is still listed as probable to face the Celtics. We'll update Love's status as soon as more information becomes available, but Tristan Thompson would be in line for a value boost if Love's status is downgraded. Mar 3 - 11:38 AM

Kevin Love made 6-of-19 from the field for 17 points with 10 rebounds, three assists, two blocks, two steals and one 3-pointer against the Pacers on Friday.

While he does have a bigger chance to produce, Love actually hasn't really stepped up. He actually made just 3-of-15 from the field in the last game without LeBron James back on Jan. 28. Love hasn't been playing well right now, averaging 16.2 points, 9.8 boards and 2.8 treys in his last five. He's fine, though. Feb 27 - 11:41 PM

Kevin Love scored 16 points on 5-of-10 shooting with eight boards in Thursday's win over the Warriors, adding one assist and three 3-pointers in 37 minutes.

The low shot attempts probably had something to do with LeBron James going off for 42 points, but the good news is that he kept up his torrid pace from beyond the arc. Love has now averaged 4.3 3-pointers over his last three games which has opened up driving lanes for LeBron James and Kyrie Irving. Love may see an increased role on offense in Indiana Friday with Kyrie Irving nursing a shoulder injury, so owners in daily leagues should take that into consideration. Feb 26 - 11:55 PM

Kevin Love tied his career-high with eight 3-pointers on Tuesday, finishing a road win in Detroit with 24 points, nine rebounds, three assists, one steal and zero turnovers.

Kyrie Irving has been cold from the perimeter lately, which makes Love's bombardment even better news for a Cavs team which already dominates the mid-range thanks to LeBron -- they're shooting 46.5 percent when 15-19 feet from the hoop, while the second-ranked Hawks are at 44.8 percent. Love is coming off a solid 16 & 16 performance from Sunday and it appears he's figured out how to "fit in" with his new star-studded team. Feb 24 - 10:34 PM

Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is likely headed for a game-time decision for Tuesday's game vs. Boston.

We'll continue to monitor this situation closely, but if Irving is unavailable, Matthew Dellavedova will have another game with the starting unit. However, Dellavedova only managed to put up three points and four assists through 41 minutes of action during his last start, so the true beneficiaries of an Irving absence will be LeBron James and Kevin Love.

Marion has been struggling with his hip injury for several weeks and an MRI on Monday revealed a strain that will keep him out for the near future. The injury has caused Mario to fall out of the Cavs' rotation recently and the veteran said he's more focused on getting healthy for the playoffs. Marion can be left on the waiver wire in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues.

The Cavaliers have been granted a $4.9 million Disabled Player Exception for Anderson Varejao, who will miss the remainder of the season due to Achilles surgery.

Varejao's absence has thrust Tristan Thompson into a featured role at center, but their frontcourt remains perilously thin. It wouldn't be surprising to see them pick up a big man to relieve Thompson and Kevin Love, but fantasy owners aren't likely to benefit from any low-level transactions.
